Yes indeed, but the difference between a Stata variable
and a Stata vector is larger in practice than in principle.
There are ways of getting matrices into variables
and vice versa (including, but not only, -svmat- and -mkmat-)
but a crucial difference is that Stata variables and Stata
matrices (vectors being a special case) are in different
namespaces.
